Elizabeth Francis Moller was born on July 24, 1949 in Houston, Texas, the daughter of Minnie Stevens and Adrian Moller Sr., both lifelong residents and ranchers in Brazoria County. She graduated from Angleton High School. She married Danny R. Brewer and became a mother and a champion cutting horse rider.
Like all of us, she struggled through the troubles of life, but had a harder time than most in finding the brief shining moments. She turned her life into a Christian example and became a blessing to her church, by her whole-hearted support of the education and music programs. Her flair for music, both singing and playing the guitar, enriched the spirited Bible School songs of the children and the old-time gospel songs of the adults. She became a guiding light for the prison ministry and an advocate of the building program. Her work in the Presbyterian Women Organization included Habitat for Humanity and organizing and delivering Easter dinners to shut-ins.
She was a member of the Cradle of Texas Chorus of Sweet Adelines International. She was employed by Gilbert and Gilbert law offices in Angleton.
Her husband, parents, and brother, Adrian Moller, Jr., preceded Mrs. Brewer in death.
She is survived by her loving family, her son, Clayton Adrian Brewer, her sister, Mary Clive Munson, and her nieces and nephew, Mary Elizabeth Munson and Stephanie and Stratton Munson.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to the church or to the American Cancer society would be appreciated. Arrangements by the Palms Funeral Home, Angleton, Texas.
